The Daily Ten is the news of the morning, ranked. The Journal is the other half: long reads written by the studio, not scraped, on the business, the body and the life around the fight. Raw, elegant, for fighters and the brands around them.
What is in it so far. The money round: what a fight night actually earns, from the gate to the stream. Sleep is the cheapest coach you will ever hire: the research on sleep and injury, and a fight week protocol. The weight cut is a tax: how much of the body goes before the scale. Small hall arithmetic: a four figure purse, a ticket deal and a journeyman in the away corner. What the UFC's books say about your sponsor deck. Between camps: two fights a year is thirty quiet weeks, and what to do with them.
How it is built. Every figure carries its source, named and linked at the foot of the piece. Where a number is our own arithmetic, the page says so. No third-party images: the page is type, figures and charts in the studio's own faces. One long read a week, by RSS or JSON feed, next to the Daily Ten.
Who it is for. The fighter who wants to understand the money he is not being paid. The brand that wants to be inside the sport rather than on top of it. The coach who plans the camp and wants the research in one place.

Six steps. Discipline: boxing, MMA, bare knuckle, Muay Thai or kickboxing. Stage: amateur, pro prospect, contender or champion. Corner: what already exists, fight footage, training clips, an audience, a website, a sponsor, a team. Missions, up to three: sign sponsors, sell tickets, grow the audience, move PPV, merch and drops, a long-form series. Next fight: within a month, in one to three months, later this year, not booked yet. Look: classic, street, neon or luxe.

Every morning at 06:00 UTC this desk reads the last 24 hours of boxing and MMA coverage across the best outlets, deduplicates it, ranks it by impact and publishes the ten stories that matter. Each one comes with a summary, the takeaways and our read. That is the Daily Ten.
What ranked means. An editor scores every story from 0 to 100 on how much it moves the sport: a title fight booked, a belt vacated, a result that rewrites a division. The ten are the top of that list, boxing and MMA side by side, the lead at number one.
What our read means. Our read is our opinion, one or two sentences under the facts. It is grounded in the reporting and it is ours. The facts stay the outlet's: every story links to the original article, and the credit line names who did the reporting. We summarise, we do not reproduce.
What else is on the page. A live wire of the outlets' latest headlines. The fight calendar: upcoming bouts with a date and a source, nothing guessed. The sources strip, every newsroom we read. Back issues, one JSON file per day.
How to follow. The page, the RSS feed, the JSON feed, and the story cards on Instagram every morning. Every card names the outlet in its foot.

Sponsors buy stories, not logos. That is the whole idea behind the sponsor kit, and behind how we place brands in combat sports.
For the brand: we put you inside the story instead of on top of it. Partner formats an audience actually watches, placed through our athlete network and the gyms around it. Fighter x Brand is a recurring series with the fighters, so your brand shows up every week, not once. Campaigns and shortform are cut for the feed and placed through the same network. The product lives inside camp, walkout and fight week.
For the athlete: look, voice, athlete page and sponsor kit, so you arrive as a brand, not a record. One sponsor kit per athlete.
How a placement runs. Match: a shortlist of athletes whose audience and story fit the brand. Integrate: Fighter x Brand formats. Distribute: athlete channels, clipping accounts and partner pages carry it further than one post. Report: a sponsor kit and weekly numbers, so the next deal is easier to sign. Three formats per placement. Fifty-two weekly reports a year.
What we need from you: your goal, your monthly budget and the audience you want to reach. We come back with an honest read on which formats fit. It starts with a fixed thirty-day pilot at a fixed price. You talk to Mert and Igor, the two people doing the work.

A fight is one night of footage and a month of content. Most of it never gets used. Here is how we cut it.
Before the bell: camp and fight week. Meet the Fighter, build-up films and Road to Fight Night, the story before the bell. Fight week starts four weeks early. The announcement, the build-up, fight week and the replay run as one campaign, pointed at tickets and PPV.
After the bell: the replay. Twelve cuts from the night, clipped and pushed for weeks after. Every piece gets a second and third life. One fight becomes twelve cuts, one interview carries a month. Raw footage, bold words, hard cuts, real sound. One house style, so twelve clips read as one brand.
Where they go: your channels, and the clipping accounts we set up and run around you, so the highlights travel to people who do not follow you yet.
Your job in all of this: you film. Phone or crew, whatever you have. We send a shot list and, if you want, a kit. Raw footage goes into one link after every session. That is your whole job. We cut the episode: story, chapters, sound, titles and the thumbnail in the series look. Shorts and reels come from every episode.
The rhythm holds through camp and the quiet months: plan Monday, approve Wednesday, publish Friday. Numbers every week.

Start with what you have. Fights, camp, interviews, the gym: most of what a fighter needs already exists. It sits on a phone, on a coach's laptop, in a promoter's archive. We turn it into an athlete brand that stays visible between fights, and we take every digital task around it off your plate.
What you get, in the order we build it. Athlete brand and identity: look, voice, athlete page and sponsor kit, so you arrive as a brand, not a record. Content from what exists: fights, camp, interviews, the gym, cut in one house style, captioned and tagged, ready to post. Every piece recycled: one fight becomes twelve cuts, one interview carries a month. Clipping accounts: we set up and run them around you, so the highlights travel on channels beyond your own. Camp and fight week: Meet the Fighter, build-up films and Road to Fight Night, the story before the bell.
One partner for all of it. Website, athlete page, sponsor kit, booking, numbers. Every digital task, one team. You fight.
How it starts: a fixed thirty-day pilot at a fixed price. After thirty days both sides know whether this works. Who you work with: Mert and Igor, the two people doing the work. No account layer, no handoffs. One of them replies within 24 hours.
Through BOXINGATELIER the work reaches deep into the gyms, camps and promotions of the sport. We build the brand and the systems on top.
